> The government in Germany which shut down local production and decided to outsource it all did not come out of thin air.

That is just plain wrong. https://www.iea.org/countries/germany/energy-mix

If not Europeans, who elects the officials in EU that determine energy policy? Also, your graph shows a substantial decrease in domestic energy production.

If Germans want cheaper energy their only option is to elect other politicians. It's the same problem in Norway. People vote for politicians who do everything they can to increase the price, and then they whine that inflation is sky high. You get what you vote for in a Democracy.
